Destiny always wins

Image
A Bosnian couple has filed for divorce after discovering both having an online affair with each other under fake names. Both felt they found a soul mate at last until they met in person. Sana Klaric, 27, and Adnan, 32 from Zenica, Bosnia, had marital troubles, so they were secretly chatting and having an affair online. In an online chat forum, both husband and wife found each other unknowingly under assumed fake names (Sweetie and Prince of Joy) and both poured their hearts out about their marital problems. With time both realized they were perfect for each other and wanted to meet finally in person. But when they met in person, it wasn’t a happy ending, each accusing the other of unfaithful and filed for divorce. Sana said when they were chatting she realized how alike their marriages were both in trouble. And one day they decided to meet in person and have a rose with them to identify themselves, but when she saw Adnan carrying that rose, she felt betrayed and angry. Adna...

Let it be, and live with it as it is

It goes counter to our usual instincts in Western society — we are doers, creators of our destiny, we make things happen … we don’t wait for it to happen! That’s what I was taught from an early age, in school and by every motivational sports movie I ever watched. So allowing things to happen is not my normal way. I have never been one to be passive, to let things happen instead of making them happen, to let go of control of things. This control we think we have over our lives and our destinies … it’s an illusion. As the guy who had his life turned upside down by a heart attack, the woman who lost her father to death and had to drop everything, the family who lost their home to a hurricane, the entrepreneur that was doing well until the economy collapsed and no one was spending, the hard-working employee who was laid off when the economy tanked, the cyclist who was hit by a car, the car that skid because someone ran onto the road who had been obscured, the mom whose son has ...

Live life to the fullest(worthwhile)

Sometimes when we dig deep into the different “what if” situations that pop into our minds around a given situation that elicits fear, we come to realize that our deepest fear is the fear of death. Somewhere we actually started believing that making a ”bad” decision could lead to death! Something REALLY bad might happen… We are SO afraid to die — we condition ourselves to fear living life! Our life had consisted of staying within the parameters of our comfort zone to ensure our survival.… By not living a full life, erroneously feeling we were keeping ourselves safe from an accidental death (before the ripe age of 80+, ideally). However, the irony of this situation is that basically anticipating our death on a semi daily basis. Always afraid … Well, that death and dying course definitely kicked us in the butts and when we begin asking ourselves at the end of each day, “If we were to die tonight, did we live a full life today? Can we die peacefully?” and this becomes an ongoi...

Ongoing kindness

What does that mean? This quote is about giving, or being charitable. We generally like to give to those less fortunate, or who are having a hard time. That’s just the in the nature for most of humanity. That said, some have had it trained out of them, by upbringing or culture. That’s OK, you can change, if you want to. But the point of the quote is about how we give and how to get the most, or give the most assistance. It’s nice to give something, and then walk away. While a wise person will use that gift to improve their situation and themselves, some are either too desperate, or unable to figure out how to best help themselves. That’s where taking the time to help them understand how to better themselves and get out of the misfortune in which they find themselves mired. That’s what this quote is about, teaching and helping in addition to giving. Why is helping as well as giving important?    Yes, I know it’s not always possible. Sometimes you’re giving to a group of people ...

Creative life

Image
How do you know when it's time to let your children in on the big secret? That’s a point that a lot of people find is hard to get to. Especially people who confuse their creative expression to be an extension of who they are. You are not your art. You are seperate from it. It is your work and it does not define who you are as a human being. When someone critiques your art, it’s the art that is receiving critique, not you. If the critique is constructive then take it, if it’s not and the person is just there to complain and not provide anything of substance or value, feel free to ignore it. Your self-worth doesn’t come from people accepting or rejecting your art. It comes from you loving yourself and what you do and respecting yourself.

peace of mind

There is this stage in our lives where we have to keep ourselves out of unnecessary arguments, so even if someone comes and say "hey do you know 1+1=5(yeah it is), absolutely correct and move on, let us make our peace of mind a priority.

Food for life

Image
We are what we eat. Every 28 days, our skin replaces itself. Our liver, 5 months. Our bones, 10 years. Our body makes these new cells from the food we regularly eat. What we eat and drink literally becomes us. We all have a choice in what we're made of.

Cruelty

I didn’t understand how other people could be mean, rude, or offensive toward strangers or friends. I took it personally when people affronted me or were curt with me, believing they were truly out to get me for something I’d done. Before all this, i began to cry a lot and retreat into myself rather than being social and opening up, which only furthered the problem. I felt alone, miserable, and, try as I might, I could not regain that feeling of the world being beautiful. I felt like something had crawled into my brain and flipped all the positive switches off and the negative ones on. I felt hopeless, like it was more of a disease than a feeling. When I became depressed, though, my temper shortened and I felt far more irritable. I had little patience for anything, and I lived in a constant state of anxiety about social interactions. Whenever I engaged in conversation with someone else, I assumed they found me boring, annoying, or self-obsessed, and it sent me even further into my sadn...

Grateful Always

Image
If we'd want to know how rich we are, let's find out how many things we have that money cannot buy, anyway nothing we have is because of luck or chance. It's all due to Almighty grace and favor. Be grateful As you waste your breath complaining about life, someone out there is breathing their last breath. Appreciate what you have whilst you still have the opportunity

Create a future better you

It's the small habits that matters. How we spend our mornings. How we talk to ourselves. What we read and what we watch. Who we share our energy with. Who has access to us. That will change our life completely around
